Read the excerpt from Sunil's personal narrative.

When I first came to the United States from India, I was frustrated by the assumptions people made about me and my culture. People often think that because I'm from India, I am a Hindu. I'm actually Malayali, from Kerala, and I'm Muslim. And the day that a girl at school asked me if it felt weird not living in a longhouse anymore really took the cake. India is known for a lot of different architectural styles, and a longhouse isn't one of them! But the misunderstandings about who I am and where I am from are only the tip of the iceberg. As a person of color, I've been called a lot of names here by people on the street, in the grocery store, in school—practically everywhere—and their underlying message is this: You have no right to feel safe here.

What function does this paragraph serve in the narrative?


It is a flashback to Sunil's experiences in India.

It is an exposition of Sunil's background and the introduction to a conflict.

It is a description of the action following Sunil's solution to a conflict.

It is a reflection on the solution to Sunil's conflict.

Answers

This question is missing the excerpt. I've found it online. It is the following:

Read the excerpt from "Children of the Drug Wars."

By sending these children away, "you are handing them a death sentence," says José Arnulfo Ochoa Ochoa, an expert in Honduras with World Vision International, a Christian humanitarian aid group. This abrogates international conventions we have signed and undermines our credibility as a humane country. It would be a disgrace if this wealthy nation turned its back on the 52,000 children who have arrived since October, many of them legitimate refugees.

The underlined words and phrases have strong negative connotations. How do they support the author's purpose? [...]

Answer:

They support the author's purpose because:

A. They draw attention to the opinion that the United States  is not doing enough to help these children.

Explanation:

Even though the excerpt is missing the underlined words and phrases, there is only one option that has any true connection with what is being said. The excerpt is about how the U.S. has been failing to help children who arrive in the country as refugees. Instead of welcoming them with care and safety, they are often sent away, back to their countries. It is clear that the U.S. is not doing enough for those children. Therefore, the correct option is letter A.

Options B through D can be easily eliminated. This excerpt does not concern other countries' roles in this crisis, international conventions, or the  way in which the U.S. will be regarded by other nations.

Answer:

A) They draw attention to the opinion that the United States is not doing enough to help these children.

The Call of the Wild draws heavily on Jack London's own experience during the Klondike Gold Rush. Consider the following question: What would it be like to live in a society without rules? Imagine a world that is wild. Characters compete for resources, so trust could be dangerous. What is your character expecting and feeling? Your response should be about 150 words.

Answers

Answer:

 What it would be like to live in a society without rules would be dangerous and scary since there are no rules. Since everybody would be here for resources such as gold there would be a lot of violence and fighting going on everywhere so it would be dangerous to live. My character would feel very scared since he would not know who he can trust. He would have to watch out for people who would try to take his stuff.  mark as brainliest

Explanation:

Answer:

What would it be like to live in a society without rules? Where no one tells you how or when you should do something. A world that is wild?  Living in a world that is wild would be exciting even though it can be very dangerous. I would like to find my own resources and supplies to make a living and compete for it. It would be do or die. I think it would be alot of work but parents would be happy to see their child doing so much hard work (instead of on a device all day). Plus the hard work you do would pay off because then you could live life knowing you earned it. I expect that many people would disagree with me because we have rules for reasons and if we break them someone could get hurt. I feel if we lived wild it would be a better world but it would be a dangerous one.

Wild animals as viewed from a mountain camp—Camille Grant, October 2011

Through my binoculars, I viewed a group of wild animals in action. A pride of lions was sleeping when a small, yellow bus pulled up beside them. Tourists on a safari were packed into the bus like sardines in a can. Armed with cameras, they invaded the lions' territory, hoping to capture the perfect photograph. The crowd leaned out the windows, hooting and hollering, until the lions awoke. When the lions moved away, the bus rolled after them, relentlessly stalking the pride. One of the lions turned and roared to protect the young. This was greeted with cheers and a celebratory honk of the bus horn. The curious visitors observed the lions' routine for an hour before moving on. Leaving a cloud of dust, the bus headed away, taking the wild animals off to disturb someone else's home.
